Chapter Forty Seven

Blueth Mendoza's POV

"Coming through Ms. Val!" I yelled out as I threw the ball of yarn towards Cathy. Cathy caught it and started tying a knot on it. "Did you tie it good Cathy?"

"I tied it so right that it is so tight that it will... uhh... It will stay up all night? Haha! Got some rhyming skills going on!"

I giggled as I looked at Cathy. What? She looks so cute, plus, she didn't play around with the yarn. She's really helping me for ones, well, not like she doesn't help me out or anything, it's just that last time when I asked her to help me tie some signs in front of the house, she just started playing around with the yarn we used. But now, she's resisting her urge to play with the yarn.

"Hey! Watch it will you! I'm eating my breakfast here! Why are the two of you in such a hurry anyway?" Ms. Val said as she took a sip from her coffee. "Hmm, this coffee tastes good."

Cathy jumped on the table where Ms. Val was having her lunch and started eating one of Ms. Val's pancakes. "Well, Blueth here got the dates messed up on her phone."

"Dates messed up? Why? Is there something that I should be worried about like Blueth?" Ms. Val said as she looked at me while taking a sip of her coffee.

"It's Rachelle's birthday today."

"Oh, then why is Blueth placing the decorations now? Shouldn't she have placed those yesterday or something?"

"That's the thing. Her phone didn't notify her of Rachelle's birthday because Blueth messed up putting the reminder. She placed the reminder next week instead of today."

"Ah, so that's why."

"Aren't you going to help me place the decorations!?" I asked them politely as I tried getting the tape off of my hair. I should really stop hurrying, this is getting me nowhere. All this panicking and hurrying I'm doing is just making a mess.

"You placed your own bomb when you placed the wrong date on your phone Blueth, now you got to defuse it."

"Wasn't that supposed to be 'You placed your own bomb now you got to take damage for it'?"

"I don't know these types of sayings, Cathy. How should I know if I'm wrong or not?"

"Can't you just use your magic or something to place these decorations?"

"No can do Blueth, my magic is still recharging. I used it all up when that shadow thing attacked you." Ms. Val said as she waved her finger in the air. "See? No magic is coming out."

"How can I be sure that you're just holding it back?"

"Blueth, I can't hold back my magic when waving my finger around. Well, technically I can, but I have to let it out or else it'll do some serious damage to me."

"Well, what am I supposed to do with all of these?" I said as I pointed at the materials lying on the floor. I haven't made many decorations yet, all I got to do was hang the banners Ms. Val bought. "Rachelle will be here in the afternoon and I still haven't done anything yet."

"I'll tell you what you can do, stop complaining, and start crafting those things that you have planned for her party. Here, I'll help." Ms. Val started walking towards me and took off the tape from my hair. "You should double-check those dates next time Blueth so you won't be in such a hurry."

"Well, I was sure that I placed the right date on my reminder."

"Double checking won't kill you Blueth."

"Fine, I'll start double checking things."

Ms. Val laughed and she started cutting and making the decorations. She's really good at making arts and crafts. All of the cuts she's making are all straight and stuff. When I cut things, there's a huge chance that the cut will go the wrong direction.

While Ms. Val and I were making decorations, something came to my mind and I want to know if Ms. Val did it or not.

"Hey, Ms. Val? I have a question."

"Ask away."

"Did you throw some of the amnesia powder on Rachelle? She did see you use your magic on that smoke figure which attacked." I looked at Ms. Val as I asked her.

"No, I didn't use the powder on her."

"Why didn't you use the powder?"

"Well, I figured that I'm just wasting amnesia powder on Rachelle since she keeps seeing me use my magic and all. Besides, I trust her that she won't tell anyone else."

Ms. Val said as she winked at me. I smiled at Ms. Val and we both went back to making the decorations.

Wait a minute, was Ms. Val referring to me when she said that Rachelle won't tell anyone? Was Ms. Val's wink to me, her reminding me of the time I told Rachelle about Ms. Val's magic?

"Was the blink you gave me a reminder of the time I told Rachelle about your magic?"

"What? I don't know what you're talking about." Ms. Val said as she let out a giggle. Oh, she's definitely reminding me of the thing I did, telling Rachelle about Ms. Val's magic.

I shook off the thought and went back to making decorations. "Hey Ms. Val, check this out."

I showed Ms. Val the cutout I did, it was a cutout of Ms. Val. It's not exactly her, but the shape looks like her, with the scarf and all.

"That's cute, kid. But mine's cuter." Ms. Val said as she showed me a cutout of my face. It was the exact copy of my face, details, and everything. My jaw dropped as I saw it. Okay, I am amazed at Ms. Val. I don't know if she's doing that because she has magic or something, but I am amazed by her.

"You think you can teach me how to do that?"

"I'll teach you. When we have nothing to do."

"After making these decorations, can you teach me on how to make those highly detailed cutouts?"

"We have to celebrate Rachelle's birthday after we finished making these decorations. Plus, we need to set them up all over the house."

"Well, teach me after we celebrate Rachelle's party then."

"Sorry Blueth, we have books to proofread so I can't teach you yet."

I pouted as I looked at Ms. Val. I really want to know how to make cutouts like the way she makes them. They look so cool!

"Well, when will you teach me?"

"As I said before, when we have nothing to do."

"Okay, fine." I pouted as I went back to cutting decorations.

"Hey Blueth, check this out." Cathy said as she showed me the cutout she made. It was a piece of paper that had holes in it. You could tell that Cathy used her claws to poke those holes. I giggled and started cuddling her.

"Oh Cathy, everything you do is just so cute!"

"Hey, knock it off you two. You're making me lose my focus on these cutouts I'm making."
